[1] BabMed Corpus AMT 44/7 transliterates ⌈SAG⌉ but the traces look certainly different from SAG with its two or three vertical wedges at the end of the sign. The possible reading ⌈ŠUB⌉ ŠA3 (miqit libbi, cf. formulations like miqit irrī) is probable but unlikely due to the following personal pronoun.
[2] Since the first lines of the colophon are visible one might expect around 20 lines (1 line catchline, 1 line rubric and 6-9 lines colophon plus around the double of it considering the smaller distance between lines within the textual main passages) until the bottom of the tablet.
[3] For restoration see AMD 8/1, 126, cf. the very similar formulation in AMD 8/1 text 7.8. no. 7 ll. 18’ff. as well as the Bit rimki ritual tablet SpTU 2, 12 rev. iii 28-29), cf. the note in AMD 8/1, 128.
Great roundup! 2023 really offered a mix of creativity and nostalgia in gaming. It’s always exciting to see how different genres evolve over time. I’ve also enjoyed exploring some skill-based titles lately — if you’re into that kind of gameplay, you might want to check out 3 Patti No 1
